Post any defects you find in the released or beta versions of the ImageMagick software here. Include the ImageMagick version, OS, and any command-line required to reproduce the problem. Got a patch for a bug? Post it here.

The legacy ImageMagick 6 parser has delayed interpretation of the Fx expression whereas the ImageMagick 7 parser has immediate effect. You have two options, use the legacy parser (e.g. magick convert ...) or force immediate Fx interpretation with this command:

As mentioned the primary focus of the changes to the Shell API or Command Line Interface is the abstraction so that not only can options be read from command line arguments, but also from a file (script) or from a file stream (interactive commands, or co-processing).

To do this the CLI parser needed to be re-written, so as to always perform all options, in a strict, do-it-as-you-see it order.
